Joel and Corey Hall review Avengers: Endgame on its opening weekend. Don’t worry, there’s no spoilers – right away anyway – so feel free to start listening and finish after you’ve seen the film. Joel has always been skeptical of Marvel’s film output, while Corey is a comics fanboy and yet, they mostly agree about this one. Don’t worry, there’s more arguments in future episodes! Read Corey Hall’s written review here, too.

joel Radio has the biggest stories covered: The Letterman retirement, The Avengers in theaters and Joel stranded in Pittsburgh. Actually this show is all over the place, talking a million things like why you should see The Illusionists, why you should see or not see Avengers, why Other Space has become Joel’s favorite show and tons more. Joel’s travel tales are particularly sad, describing his penchant for out-of-town fast food and a trip to the “Magic Capital of the World” – which meant a trip to the graveyard. Also, Corey can’t get enough of Daredevil on Netflix, the Kurt Cobain documentary is a bummer, and The Iron Shiek documentary is exactly what Joel expected it to be. Hear Joel’s inside story of being Iron Sheik’s hype man for a night and why it won’t go down in the annals of great comedy shows – or even mediocre ones.

Back on episode #69 the guys tried to decide which of the new fall TV shows would be hits. A point system was assigned and predictions were made. Now the results are in, and comedian Matt McClowry rejoins Corey and Joel for the big reveal. Who is the big winner? Which shows were the surprise hits? Which were the unsurprising flops? Listen and find out! Also, Matt details his latest comedy travels, including some prestigious festivals, and an upcoming headline date. He also tells you his favorite new city for comedy, but don’t go to the bar across the street – unless you’re into that kind of thing. Plus, a local comedy poll drives Corey nuts, Joel doesn’t know how many shows he’s done, Martin from Bay City likes crappy music, and a Men in Black 3 review that’s every bit as lackluster as the actual film.
